CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – FreeStar Financial Credit Union is helping veterans “one lick at a time” by partnering with the Setter Family McDonald’s to offer members a free ice cream cone when a donation is made to Pets for Vets.
“The credit union began in 1957 at what is now Selfridge Air National Guard Base and we are proud to continue our support for the military,” said Jennifer Martines, executive vice president. “In 2013, we selected Pets for Vets as the credit union’s military charity because of their commitment to heal the emotional wounds of military veterans by pairing them with a shelter dog. Our goal is to provide at least one veteran with a pet that can help the veteran regain their health and happiness.”
The companion animals are provided at no cost to the veteran. However, the cost to properly train the animal and provide the necessary supplies is $1,500.
Donations are being accepted at all four FreeStar Financial Credit Union branches in Chesterfield, Clinton Township, and Sterling Heights as well as the office at Selfridge ANGB. The free ice cream cone coupons are redeemable at eight locations in Macomb County owned by the Setter Family.
